Graduates from Togo seeking post-study work visas have limited options, as Togo itself does not offer a specific post-study work visa. However, opportunities exist in other countries, particularly in Europe and North America.
France, due to historical ties, allows Togolese graduates to apply for a temporary residence permit (APS) for up to one year after completing a master’s or higher. Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and the U.S. Optional Practical Training (OPT) program are alternatives, though competitive. Researching destination-specific requirements, such as proof of funds and job offers, is essential for a successful application.
